But slowly, I filled my home server with whatever CUDA capable cards I have and it's fine for SD, but I found llama way too slow. I rented a dual A2000 instance for a couple weeks and it was bearable, but still not great.

Looks like ChatGPT trained their models better, probably before sites could take measures to prevent that. Gemini however was thrown together by throwing money and people at the problem in order to catch up and not be left behind. Which from what I've read seems to be their biggest fear.

My Pixel 9 has AI everywhere but I certainly wouldn't pay the price they want to continue "using" Gemini after my trial.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you'll get an invite. Usenet... I can't even remember how I got an invite

Someone important watched the latest episode of last week tonight. As someone with no iron in the fire, I'm glad there are still responsible adults running things from the background

It makes so much sense, ever since reading it I can't see the biblical story any other way.

Glycinate or Citrate will do the most for you sleep wise. Pills are dirt cheap, or if you want some flavor you can buy Natural Calm. It's just flavored magnesium citrate.

Pills are 200mg per pill, I have alot of sleep issues I usually take 4 pills. 2 if each type and sleep like a baby. But some people can't handle the magnesium and it causes diarrhea

Every time I open Amazon it tries to get me to watch whatever drivel they've made lately, Fallout and Bosch are the only things I've watched in years from Prime Video, and downloaded them both from the high seas. I dunno what Freevee is, but I'm not watching anything on it.

I picked up a game server with Indifferent broccoli thinking my friends and I could build mega factories with all that sweet sweet server ram. Set the server to not pause on exit. Build my initial product lines and let the server build items while I sleep. I had damn near infinite building supplies by the second day and one friend came on, complained about the start area, and restarted the game in his preferred starting area. And haven't seen anyone since. Meanwhile I'm on Tier 6 and have built entire tube subway lines for my friends to head to all corners of the map. And all I get in discord is "sweet" and "great" literally these same guys were talking non-stop and played for hours when I got an abiotic factor server, and beat it in a week. They even voted on Satisfactory as the next game.

Bummed

God yes, you can clearly see from the background scene that while at different tables they can clearly see each other. All this bickering is madness

Wasp nest in wall, specialist comes out, sucks them all out, sprays commercial insecticide into wall cavity. Wasps that were out of nest at the time come back and get confused and piss off, couple days later they're back and have found new unbefore seen holes to fly into, specialist tells me to buy trap and fill with meat. Buy canned ham and dump in trap. All wasps that came back are now in trap. Thanks Ham.

I'm running Zen Optimized as my daily driver and quite like it, closing tabs was irritating at first but I figured out the shortcut and its been smooth sailing ever since

There was a linux version but it seems to have gone poof. For Windows users there's : https://yt-bat.github.io/

I've had many deathstars fail.

Old sysadmin trick I was taught was to freeze the drives overnight, have used this trick on multiple occasions, but once the drive heats back up it's really dead. But you've generally got ample time to backup the drive before it dies.

Bosch, love that intro. Too bad they didn't keep it for the spinoff

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that's compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren't accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

I'm very sorry about this. But every time I read "jorkin depeanus" a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

Ah my last reinstall was because of important news I didn't read.

Someone mentioned Zen on the endeavor forums the other day. I've switched to Zen Optimized as my daily driver and I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. I'm not a keyboard shortcuts kinda guy but you do need to learn the tab manipulation shortcuts or it'll drain your sanity right clicking on the icons to close tabs.

I have Calm (https://naturalcalm.ca/) which is raspberry flavored magnesium citrate. Get it at Costco.

I did and he was completely useless, he prescribed me baclofen which I take like tictacs and they do jack shit. He was out of ideas so I googled it and found out about magnesium. Got some "Calm" which is magnesium citrate and no more insane pain.
